As always, you have provided an excellent learning tool here. Your advice in the video, to get up & walk around, is one of the best pieces of advice regarding this condition. The patients we have treated who were diagnosed with this, came from all walks of life, but all had "no movement for long periods of time" in common. We've treated pilots (who have long flights), passengers (on those long flights), students/employees who sit for very long periods. Get up & walk, please, when you can.

This is extremely informative. Being a biology student, I read a lot about DVT, but could not actually visualise the process. This video helped me understand it much better. Thank you very, very much.

I got this from having an allergic reaction from heparin. Went to have my gall bladder out and everything went very well there but the heparin almost killed me twice. I went to the dr. after the surgery with the breathing problems and they sent me home because they thought it was a pulled muscle in my ribs. so if you have surgery and it fells like you pulled a rib muscle please have the dr. give you an x ray. it would have kept me from almost dying twice. my feeling is better safe than sorry.
